TWO ARTICLES IN LIEU OF A NEW ONE FROM ME

When one thinks of great beer journalism, the first two names that pop into mind, of course, are MEN’S JOURNAL and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, right? Hey, but both have put together very interesting articles the past few weeks that you should check out. The first is Men’s Journal’s “25 Best Beers in America” – a really strong list that gets in right by putting Boont Amber in the Top 10. Of course, there’s a big discussion of the list going on at Beer Advocate as well that’s probably worth scanning – I haven’t done so yet.

The second is a revealing article in the WSJ about the “wet hop”/”fresh hop” movement, and the new beers that are coming out right about now as a result. I’ve never had one of these but I’m going to head to City Beer this week & see if any are still left.....enjoy.....
